Was the "angel" that stirred the waters at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:4) supposed to be an actual angel, or was this just a belief or tradition the people held?
I have never really thought much about it.
Jesus never called it false or idolatry. It just doesn’t sound like anything in the Judeo-Christian tradition. And healing springs with supernatural entities sounds kind of pagan.
